Four-part session
Observe, construct, compare, reflect
- 1
Draw the shell as a low dome with a firm lower rim, then tuck a smaller body mass beneath it.
- 2
Extend the neck and lifted head to the right, using a curved throat line to connect back under the shell.
- 3
Place the near front and rear legs first as sturdy bent columns, then show smaller far legs behind them.
- 4
Divide the shell into a central row of plates and surrounding side plates that follow the dome.
Keep the session going
